March 2008, Buffalo Sculpin-Yaquina Bay

Buffalo Sculpin- As promised-a not so gamey fish - taken in a crab trap in Yaquina Bay at Newport, OR. This is one big sculpin- and as horney as it is big. Those horns are sharp and sting. Oddly, I caught his twin in another crab trap half a mile away the same day.
